working on it.
Some forums talking about it:
SO if I update to GIngerbread do I lose my Z4root?
Z4Root Not working after GB 2.3
After the Gingerbread OTA update, my Droid 2 R2D2 went into Root limbo. I no longer had root access. z4root no longer worked. You couldn't delete the superuser files either.
I followed steps on http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/ and Unable to Re-Root Droid 2 after Gingerbread OTA
-
Make sure you have the Motorola drivers installed.
-
Download Psouza's one-click root package and extract the contents: PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.07.zip
This is supposed to be for Windows 7 and later. I tried the Windows XP/2K3 package, but it didn't work for me.
-
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device. This should be under Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
-
Run Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe and choose Temp ADB Root. (I tried click on Unroot My Phone, but it failed.)
-
Open a command prompt and navigate to the support_files folder where you extracted the contents of the package.
Type:
adb shell
/system/xbin/su
The $ sign will change to #
Type:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
What goes after /dev/block may be different for your device. You can type "cat /proc/mounts" and see where /system is mounted.
Type:
cd /system/bin
rm su
rm busybox
Exit
-
Run Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe and choose Root My Phone.
-
Opened up Titanium Backup and verified Root access was granted.
-
Updated Su binary.
